Brewery Bhavana – Downtown Raleigh

Brewery Bhavana on South Blount Street in downtown Raleigh combines several businesses under one roof. It is a brewery and taproom, a flower shop, a bookstore, and a dim sum restaurant all at once. The place was built on the idea that connection is what gives life meaning.

Beers are Belgian-inspired and have won awards, and wine and cocktails are poured as well. Gathering spaces run across traditions and cultures, where food and drink, books and flowers say something about what a community can be. The story started in 2014.
